My professional attention, described in the pages that follow, is: on our ‘inner worlds’, which stem from early experiences that become part of the not-realised underlying patterns in our lives (a psychodynamic view); on our current relationship interactions and how difficulties are played out, often repeatedly, in the present (a systemic view); on our histories, and especially on the ‘story-lines’ of those who are important to us and in their relationships to us, that re-appear in unexpected and often unconscious ways from generation to generation, perhaps through role or gender, illness or survival stories (a historical view); on times and timings in our lives, and how time can be ‘lost’ in memories and relationships (a temporal view).

At the centre of all therapies are the encounters between ourselves, whether or not as healer or the people who come about their problems.
